Modern, Multiphysics Codes

A suite of large-scale, integrated multi-physics simulation codes and major physics packages needed for the SSP, including the classified codes used by designers and analysts to simulate the nuclear safety, performance, and reliability of stockpile systems. The products are complex, integrated hydro, radiation-hydro, and transport codes for application to Stockpile Stewardship, design and analysis of experiments, general purpose hydro and radiation-hydro problems, and analyzing radiation and particle transport problems for a variety of applications. In addition, codes from this suite will be utilized to simulate other dynamic events, including high-explosive, laser, and pulsed-power driven systems, subcritical and AGEX experiments, inertial confinement fusion (ICF), and the response of energetic materials to thermal and mechanical insults. The codes are designed to run in parallel and make effective use of advanced ASC computing platforms.
